I was recently given an older Paragon electric kiln, meant for china painting (so it's not huge... about 18" across and deep) -- during transport, the refractory material in the bottom cracked, apparently along brick-shaped lines. The top looks like it would be moderately easy to reline, but I'm not at all sure about taking the whole thing apart to redo the bottom.
Is there, perhaps, a repair cement that could be used to fill the cracks at the bottom? Or a place in the Pacific Northwest that does such repairs?
I'd appreciate an email copy of any replies, as well as posting to the group... sometimes the newsgroup feed here is a bit flakey.
Many thanks!
